that is the message that has really resonated in ohio with the obama super pac and the obama campaign itself and really we have not seen anything in this entire campaign to suggest that romney has a good, solid answer to that. >> i have to add though that a couple of days ago in the recent weeks, the romney campaign has taken a new tack. as you were mentioning, the obama campaign has put out this kind of direct talk to the voter type of action d that basically has the president talking to those folks who would presumably turn out to vote for him. so did the romney campaign. they did come out with a long ad where it is literally mitt romney sitting in front of the camera talk directly to the voters. yes, repeating a lot of the messages that he's said on the stump but doing it personally, i suppose in a way to try to appeal to the folks on a much more personal level to try to draw that personality to add the personality understanding that people often say that they don't have about mitt romney and they've pooled in all of the swing states, including ohio, they've pulled all of the ads t

president obama has an advantage. but his vote has to come out. i remember in the kerry campaign in 2004, we had this enormous rally, all of this momentum. it looked like ohio was going to change the outcome of the election. it ended up where bush flipped it on election day. it was shocking. also on election day i remember back to 2000 where the gore campaign wrote off ohio. the election tightened considerably to where they regretted that they didn't play in ohio right up until the end. so ohio can break your heart. it can resurrect your campaign. my advice to president obama is not just keep coming to ohio which is good that he is. i think he's been to ohio already 29 times but also the ground game, get the vote out. that's really going to be the determining factor. >> jennifer: well, for sure. and there's a lot of reports out there that the republican ground game is extremely strong as well. so nobody can take anything for granted. one of the interesting tensions on the republican side is the sort of schism between what mitt romney is selling in
